xterm with bash showing ^C 3 years 24 weeks ago

Hi folks, I just upgraded from FC 8 to FC 12 and it was pretty smooth sailing all along, I kept my old home directory and even then it was all good.

The only noticeable change is that in an xterm if I hit Ctrl-C the actual characters ^C are printed into the xterm. Before this did not happen and I'd like to have the old behaviour back when ^C doesn't get printed.

I have a command that execute well in the normal terminal on Linux:

xterm -e bash -c "some commands"

I want to execute the above command using c program execXX system calls. I try to use the following codes but it gives me a normal xterm window.

Recently I was very frustrated with xterm not behaving as expected.

VT100 terminals have a relatively simple way to save terminal contents with escape codes to a file using Meta-p:

XTerm.VT100.printAttributes: 2 XTerm.VT100.printerCommand: cat - > file XTerm.VT100.translations: #override Meta <KeyPress> P: print() \n

I'm having an interesting issue with XFCE Terminal/Gnome Terminal (not reproducible in XTerm), where executing bash or logging in using login or su will open a new Bash instance inside a Bash instance as shown:

_randall@manbearpig:/home/randall[root@manbearpig randall]#

Ctrl+D and exit both exit back to the original bash instance.
